Horror's Greatest Hits
María Estrada
María Estrada asked Mike Russell:

Mike, we are close in age! That is not a question. My question is for you as an author, what differentiates strange fiction from speculative fiction? (I know it's an author choice, but categorizations fascinate me.)

Mike Russell Hello Maria. I call my books 'strange' so as not to constrain them within a narrow category and to let potential readers know that the books celebrate the unusual. I like to write stories that cannot be easily defined. Any categorisation is superficial and is best left to others. Anyhow, to misquote Shakespeare: A book by any other name would smell as strange.
Best wishes to you.

Richard Bell asked Mike Russell:

How did you acquire your two cats? I also have two. One appeared about 17 years ago from out of nowhere and adopted us. The second appeared about 2 years ago. I learned that feeding a stray cat is like signing a contract.

Johnny asked Mike Russell:

Dear Mike, I love the book, it makes my mind run wild! One of my favorites in the book was "The meeting", it keeps my mind racing. I was wondering If there was some underlying meaning that I am missing, or may some additional subtle hint you could share?

Hi, I'm currently reading your book, and I said to myself: this guy surely is interested in non-duality! True?
